The phone is supposed to give you approximately 5 hours of talktime according to the manual. But it manages only 2 1/2. This is bad considering it's a business phone. However, you can reduce the backlight and save some battery.

Editor's Note, April 22, 2008: Ratings have been adjusted with respect to newer devices that have entered the market.

The Touch's onscreen keyboard is improved, but it's still not the best for text entry, and the TouchFLO feature doesn't work in landscape mode. The microSD slots are hard to access, and there's no integrated Wi-Fi. Also, the phone's speaker system is...

The HTC Touch cell phone for Sprint boasts an innovative touch screen, a sleek interface, and a nice set of features, but the lack of a sizable keyboard really limits the usability of this device.

HTC Touch (Unlocked)

HTC, the company behind many of today's most popular Windows Mobile smart phones, is known for offering a broad range of devices. It has done petite, thin, and powerful, and it's even gone above and beyond traditional smart phones, as we saw at CTIA...

The Touch's major challenge has always been to take the Windows Mobile interface, which is full of tiny buttons, and make it friendly for fingertips. The original Touch redid the home screen, giving you a big clock and some large action buttons, and...

Text entry at the bottom of the screen is obscured by keypad. No GPS application currently available. Wired headphones require a clunky adapter

Right now, the HTC Touch is the closest Sprint or Windows Mobile users will get to an iPhone. And though it's far clunkier than Apple's paragon of elegance, it might also be more compatible with the way you work and play.

HTC Touch (Alltel)

The typically pricey HTC Touch reinvents itself as a discount smartphone with Alltel, and as a result you get a lot of power for your dollar here. But given the Touch's troubles with data entry I'm hesitant to recommend this device to average users.

HTC Touch (AT&T)

HTC's Touch initially looks like the Windows Mobile iPhone. But underneath its Potemkin touch interface lies the same old Windows Mobile operating system, which struggles with serious usability problems if you want to operate it with your fingers...

Very attractive. Good call quality and battery life. Attractive new home screen interface

Data entry is a pain. Hiss in music playback. Feels slow

The HTC Touch looks like a Windows Mobile answer to the iPhone, but Windows Mobile 6 just isn't made for finger-centric devices.
